Application Renewal

Viveo Consulting specializes in the areas of replatforming, reverse engineering, migration, and much more. These specific services allow for us to help our clients update their existing technology without having to do a complete over-haul of their current legacy systems. The application renewal process helps to foster flexibility and future business growth. Our services also help our clients cut costs and prolong the life of their current IT infrastructure.

There is a distinct process that we use here at Viveo Consulting regarding the application renewal of your current legacy system. In order for our clients to get the most from our renewal process we must be able to manage, plan, and oversee the entire process. This involves three key steps:

Review and Analyze

The “map” of many systems is, in most cases, poorly documented. Viveo consulting works efficiently to record the intricacies of the current system such as the files used, program sequence, hierarchy of the programs, and where the data is housed throughout the system. By documenting the process our client’s are able to understand how their entire system works and where we can make improvements and/or changes.

Planning

Our experienced team has the industry knowledge to redesign your current system with minimal risk and downtime. Our experience in regards to the application renewal process and the industry as a whole contributes to our track record of success and strong decision making abilities. By answering a series of fundamental questions that cover the "what," "where," "how," "who" and "when" of the project, the resulting planning phase is robust and practical.

Update and Roll Out

Viveo helps their clients to move from their existing system to a new and updated systems environment. Replatforming may be necessary to take advantage of more up-to-date processing power—for instance, moving an old AS/400 platform environment onto a UNIX or .NET environment. Modernization may be required—for instance, substituting a front-end layer through a service-oriented architecture. Other requirements such as enhancements also are implemented to suit your company's individual needs.

Application renewal is a vital component in managing enterprise architecture, influencing aspects such as:

• Application portfolio optimization
• Application maintenance
• Interoperability and service-oriented architectures
• Application outsourcing

Viveo has contributed its application renewal success to the methodical approach and systematic process of redefining and reshaping legacy systems for our clients. With the right team, the right process, and the right tools we ensure a successful renewal process for any system, big or small. Any new technology requires a thorough change management process along with a complete maintenance process. Change management is a vital component in regards to the application renewal solution. By handling legacy systems in a thorough and methodical manner, companies can maximize existing investments while laying the groundwork for a superior technology environment that leads companies toward becoming a high-performance business.
